2011 Plant Puzzler #1 November 21st

Gardens by Gabriel Plant Puzzler 1

I originated in the archipelago of the westcoast of the US
I exhibit my sweet, rosy flowers in the later summer months
My candelabra-shaped flower stalks are reminiscent of California native Verbena (even though we're not related)
Butterflies love me (what can I say!)
My seeds are a favorite of grouses, finches, larks, and sparrows
